Our new album BOMBA POP is out
In late autumn 2022 we took up the plan to make a new album together with Ulf Lindemann, a.k.a. Dunkelbunt. We’d been working pleasantly with him many years ago during the Balkan beats rage of the early 2000’s . Dunkelbunt produced a few great remixes using AKB originals “Naie Chuppe” and “Chassid in Amsterdam” undergoing a metamorphosis into “la Revedere” and “Black eyed sea”.
We were looking for a producer that could help us find an adventurous, out of the box approach, evolving into an album that would deliver an exciting blend of traditional klezmer, oriental melodies and contemporary influences like pop, infused with an electric energy.
“Bomba Pop” became a musical journey, crafted by the Amsterdam Klezmer Band and Dunkelbunt in collaboration with talented guest artists. This album will provide an exciting listening experience for fans of klezmer, world music, and innovative cross-genre creations.

Afwezigheid van Theo van Tol
Beste vrienden van de AKB,
Jammer genoeg moeten we vandaag een minder vrolijk bericht met jullie delen.
Theo, onze accordeonist, is wegens gezondheidsredenen voor onbepaalde tijd niet in staat om met ons op te treden. De aard van zijn toestand is helaas zo dat we niet weten of hij nog terug zal keren op het podium, maar we hopen natuurlijk van wel.
Gelukkig hebben we een goede vervanger op accordeon. Ellen van Vliet is al sinds jaren Theo’s invaller en we hebben haar intussen volledig opgenomen in de muzikale AKB-familie.
We hebben veel contact met Theo’s familie. We missen hem heel erg en hopen dat hij goed zal herstellen.

Dear friends of Amsterdam Klezmer Band,
Unfortunately, there’s a message we have to share with you that’s not very cheerful.
For health reasons Theo, our accordion player, will not be able to perform with us for an indefinite time. Because of the seriousness of his condition we cannot be sure he will return to the stage with us, but of course we hope he will.
We are happy that we have a great replacement accordion player. Ellen van Vliet has been Theo’s substitute for a few years now, and in the meantime she has become a true member of our AKB-family.
We keep in touch with Theo’s family on a regular basis. We miss him a lot and we hope he will recover well.
